The Canberra Raiders are set to unleash a Croker triple-threat on the Auckland Nines and coach Ricky Stuart hopes the return of club great Jason Croker helps pass on the Green Machine tradition to a new generation.

Stuart is yet to announce his team for the pre-season tournament on February 6-7, but Fairfax Media understands Jarrod Croker is likely to join namesake Jason and young gun Lachlan Croker in New Zealand.
